Dental Implants -Upper Lateral Incisors – Part 2 of 9
www.dentalimplantdentistryblog.com Burbank, California dental implant dentist, Ramsey Amin, DDS. This is intended to help patients specifically with upper front lateral incisor teeth dental implants.
I’m getting both of my upper lateral incisor implant screws placed tomorrow. Thanks for these video series!! I was born genetically missing both my permanent lateral incisors, which I’m sure you’re very familiar with. I’m 19 and barely stopped growing.
@420BurnaBlunt How did the procedure work out for you?
@jeffhanson1 its ok so far, the implant base screws are healing in place, its been 2 months since my surgery so I gotta wait another 4 for the crowns to be added. one of my front teeth became slightly more moveable immediately after the procedure, and its still a little bit the same :\ but its worth it as long as my bite with my bottom jaw’s teeth don’t hit the crown and over time biting and grinding might ruin atleast 1 of my 2 implants, but im not well-educated and am probably paranoid lol..
How is it coming along now?
Dear Dr. Amin, I had two implants done a week ago for missing upper lateral incisors. I used to have a Maryland Bridge but now have these implants. The problem is I’m not happy with the way the temporary crowns look – they are somewhat shorter than all my other front teeth and the difference is upsetting me. Couldn’t the dentist have simply made them as long? Is there a way to make the temporaries longer? Is it risky? I really appreciate your response and thank you so much for being online.
Just to clarify – both my upper lateral incisors are now implants. Thanks again!
If you have extra gum around the implants, it can often be removed to expose more of the tooth. I am assuming you are talking about the length at the gumline and not at the edge ot the tooth.
